Bluehost FTP – Upload your website

Bluehost FTP Add comments

To those that are new to web hosting, and what should you do to upload or send your file to Bluehost Server. This will be your guide. :) Always use FTP, the only way to upload the files to server. The FTP manager is available at bluehost cpanel, no extra software require :)

Login to your Bluehost cpanel, and go to “Site Management”, and select “FTP Manager”. You can use any of the following:

  • Java Applet FTP Client
    Browse, manipulate, and transfer files between your local hard drive on your computer and the server.
  • BlueHost.Com Drag & Drop FTP
    Pops up a new internet explorer window that will allow you to easily upload or download files between this computer and your web site. You may also rename, delete, or edit files on the server so use with caution! To upload, drag the file or folder into this window.

When you publishing your website online, always remember to ftp upload your file to folder “public_html/”. Not to other folder.

To lazy person like me that don’t like to remembering ftp login username and password, i will always use ftp client manager like cuteftp :P … and it support multithreaded ftp uploading.

    Hi,

    “To those that are new to web hosting, and what should you do to upload or send your file to Bluehost Server. This will be your guide. Always use FTP, the only way to upload the files to server”

    What file are you talking about and how do you save it? I am confused about how to save my entire blog and then upload it. I feel like I need step by step instruction on how to save my entire blog. The Bluehost FAQ seems to skip this part.

    Thanks,
    Suk

    if you have a blog site like this one, what you need to do is login to phpmyadmin, and EXPORT the whole database to text file. Remember to select the option INSERT complete. You can find a guide online for this.

    now, in the new hosting server, upload your blog files, and create a new MySQL database. setup your blog site first. Once done, go to phpmyadmin, and use the IMPORT feature, paste in the text you backup just now.

    Done, the new database is import to new hosting.

    Dear Bluehost

    First and foremost I want to thank you for a great host service, I am very satisfied with you product. However, I do have one serious problem that I haven’t been able to solve for months despite reading tons od ‘how-to’ articles on uploading an HTML template (like the one above). I have at this stage not been able to install a single HTML template on my host, delaying my work for months. I am not sure what the problem is, but I hope you can give me a step-by-step introduction as the one above do not work (no ‘site manager’ section in my bluehost)

    hi Jonas,

    for file manager, you can go to cpanel, and Files > File Manager. From here you can browse your account home directory. Make sure you are uploading files to /public_html directory. If you are using addon domain, upload files to the particular domain folder.

    if you are not familiar with php or web templates… you can use wordpress blog (this site is created with wordpress)… easy installation from bluehost > simplescripts. No uploading or editing or html require. Hope this can help you to create a website the soonest.

    I couldn’t find that “Site Management” and “FTP Manager.” I think I really need a professional help. I’ve been researching all day. I haven’t uploaded my site yet. Sigh…

    hi melojane,

    i added a screenshot to above blog post, and you can see the file manager screenshot now. You need to login bluehost cpanel, then go to “Files” categories, and click on the “File Manager” to get to the file manager tool.

    i strongly recommend you use ftp client software like cureftp or FileZilla software to upload download files from your bluehost hosting account. :)
